Bazar d’Ouchy

Bazar d’Ouchy is one of Switzerland’s most historic souvenir and gift retailers, originally established in 1902 by the great-grandmother of its current managers in the lakeside Ouchy district of Lausanne. For over 120 years, the shop has been a landmark destination for Swiss souvenirs and crafts, drawing visitors from across Lausanne and from around the world. Today the business operates both its beloved physical shop on Avenue d’Ouchy and a comprehensive online shop that ships throughout Switzerland and internationally for select products, particularly cuckoo clocks. The product catalogue is one of the most extensive available for Swiss souvenirs, with over five thousand articles listed online. Highlights include Swiss cowbells in bronze and metal across all sizes, Victorinox Swiss Army knives in the full official range, Caran d’Ache stationery and writing instruments, Reuge music boxes, cuckoo clocks from leading manufacturers, Alpine-themed decorations, Swiss chocolate, traditional textiles, and personalised engraved items. The shop also offers custom engraving services for bells, clocks, trophies, and other decorative pieces, executed directly in-store. The two current managers, Jean and Matthieu, bring specialist expertise in watchmaking and web technology respectively. Customer service is available in French, English, and German. The store is accessible by Lausanne Metro at the Ouchy stop and has on-site parking.
